I am working on OnPaint event to handle some data. I need to shift some points by a dx and dy amount. However, for a newly created Point object, the offset method does precisely nothing that I can tell.....
Point Location = new Point(myrect.X, myrect.Y);
Location.Offset(10,10);
|
I get no errors at all but the Point Location never changes....am I missing something? No exceptions are generated in the debug system.
Thanks

hmmm update (maybe answering my own question)
Turns out, I do not have a variable declared called Location. This seems to be a system keyword or obj that is a point. I realized this when I went back to my declarations section and checked the variable names. My point is actually GridLocation!
Private Point GridLocation;
Location = new Point(myrect.X, myrect.Y);
Location.Offset(10,10);
|
once this was changed to
Private Point GridLocation;
GridLocation = new Point(myrect.X, myrect.Y);
GridLocation.Offset(10,10);
|
everything worked fine....still wondering why I did not get some warning about using something not declared!!!!
*****Solved.....I was doing this inside a form that has a Location Property!!!...now I feel like an idiot.
